CavutoCNBCNeil Cavuto’s doing a lot of calling out this week.

On his Fox News show Thursday he called out Democrats who choose not to appear on Fox. Later, on his Fox Business show, he called out CNBC for not covering the midterms Tuesday night.

“I think another network was in reruns, something about a shark, a tank. Well they’re in the tank,” said Cavuto, who worked at CNBC in the 1990s before moving to Fox in 1996.
